IE6 testing 2

[jordanking]

hello,

I am creating a website for my union where a lot of the traffic is going to be through IE6. This is because the union represents civic employees who will access the website predominantly through the city's own network which is still IE6. The problem I have is with css. I have a content block that does not appear correctly in IE6 but it does in IE7. Is there a way I can have IE6 installed on a PC with IE7 for development and testing. the website is in its early stages if you want to take a look:

the content block that does not appear correctly is the right content box the contains the links and next union meeting date.

thanks

There are other similar projects that Google can find.

Running multiple IEs is not perfect (javascript handling often is awkward).

thanks, I got IE6 up and running and it reproduced the problem I am having. Do you know why the right hand content block appears under the center content block in IE6 but appears normal in IE7?

i figured it out, the ie6 showed me an element that was overflowing its container size, when I adjusted the width, the problem was fixed. Thanks again spamjim

You can also try this great tool directly from MS. It will show you the page side by side in multiple versions of IE.

Does that require Expression Web (as he asks, downloading to test anyway)?

OK - here's what I found... It does not require Expression Web. It is a 250 MB download for beta/trial software that expires in October 2009.

It looks nifty though.

You can also use NetRenderer
